Even in his final novel, Gene is not without his tricks.

"This being a Gene Wolfe novel, of course, what initially seems a straightforward mystery quickly soars off in unexpected directions, both in terms of plot and of narrative trickery." @garykwolfe reviews INTERLIBRARY LOAN: locusmag.com/2020/07/gary-k…

"The elimination vs suppression debate is ongoing ... But I think we should change the wording now to "no community transmission". This is the situation in 6 out of the 8 of our jurisdictions. That is the target we'll be going for in NSW and Victoria" - Dr Nick Coatsworth #abc730

@NSWHealth @covidliveau NSW reporting is completely unhelpful IMO. Nobody recovers anymore and "active cases" is defined arbitrarily. Doubtless the definition will need to change again if there's a second wave, which will only fuel the conspiracy theorists. It's hard to understand these choices.

"I led a small group of paladins, but we were no match for the Betrayed's sheer numbers. They slaughtered everyone and stormed the Inner Sanctum." --Knight-Paladin Gelebor, last known living Snow Elf, claiming that the Falmer killed the rest of the surviving Snow Elves.

Hi all, I'm working with @MathsWorldUK on a new series of videos where I talk to some of my favourite mathematicians and ask them to show something mathsy we can try at home. Our first video is with the amazing @robeastaway who has brought in Diffy Squares youtu.be/vTscGwAEQS4

Website tracking #COVID19 cases in the US decided they need a new color after figuring that "everything red" isn't useful. What will come after "bruised red" I wonder? covidexitstrategy.org
